Squaredrop Camper Build | Willow Poor Mans Fiberglass

Squaredrop Camper Build | Willow Poor Mans Fiberglass PMF

The time is finally here! It's been a long time coming. Going into this I was super excited but scared half to death as well lol I have put all this work into the build and this is a huge step that can make or break what the camper looks like. Thankfully, all went well.

I found a lot of different videos that helped me through the process but the one that stuck out the most was The L Wood by Lucy (link below). She has a few different videos that walk you through the process with great tips. I watched them a few dozen times and took notes.

I used an 8oz canvas from Home Depot, they only had seams on the edges so that helped keep it smooth. I washed them with light detergent and dried them on high to let them preshrink. I made the mistake of using the wrong type of roller to apply the glue to the roof, it was too thick. I ended up getting a smooth roller to roll on the Titebond II. I put the roof and front on first then the sides. I'm glad I did it this way because the rough seams ended up being on the top insead of the sides which made them less noticeable.

I found a cheap exterior paint from HD for $9, it happened to be pink but it worked. I did a 75/25 mixture of the first coat. The next coat was also a $9 paint that was a cream color, this helped tone down the pink. This was a 50/50 mixture. I sanded after this coat with 220 grit to tone down the roughness all around. The final coat was an exterior white paint that I did two coats with 100% paint sanding in between.

I will be adding a black trim all around the camper to hide the overlap but also give it a nice look.

Countdown to our Grand Canyon Adventure: 28 Days
